Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz wide egg noodles
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream
  • salt, to taste
  • black pepper, to taste
  • fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • pot for noodles
  • Wooden spoon

Method
 

  1. Cook egg noodles in salted water according to package directions. Drain and toss lightly with butter. Set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Remove from pan and drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Melt butter in the same skillet. Add mushrooms and onion and sauté until softened and golden, about 5–7 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 1 minute. Slowly add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard, stirring to combine.
  5. Add browned beef back to the skillet and simmer 3–5 minutes until sauce thickens.
  6. Reduce heat to low and stir in sour cream until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Do not boil.
  7. Serve beef stroganoff over cooked egg noodles and garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

For the creamiest sauce, use full-fat sour cream and keep the heat low once it is added. Do not let the sauce boil after adding dairy.
